Yaxell Zen 35501 Santoku Knife, 165 mm

The Yaxell Zen 35501 santoku knife is a Japanese-style knife with a wide, straight 165 mm blade well suited to slicing vegetables, fish and meat into thin, even pieces. In school, kindergarten and hospital foodservice kitchens it is often used alongside a chef's knife for finer chopping, shredding and portioning food for service.

The blade is forged from 37 layers of stainless steel with a hard VG10 steel core (61 Rockwell — kitchen knives typically range from 54 to 64 HRC), keeping the factory edge sharp under heavy daily use. The blade surface carries an artistic hammered pattern, and the handle is made of black Canvas-Micarta, lighter and more durable than wood, secured with two stainless steel rivets.
